Cabinets of Rarities, the ancestors of modern science museums, preserve evidence of a wide variety of episodes in natural and human history, and many of their exhibits are true works of art. These objects, sometimes horrifying, have a history that can tell us much about both the living and the dead.
This book by renowned French archaeologist, anthropologist and thanatologist Juliette Cazet, decorated with rare illustrations from museum, university and private collections in Europe, will tell you about forgotten traditions, gruesome experiments and priceless rarities. From human mummies to blood-chilling anatomical deformities, from severed arms and legs to human skin bindings, from indistinguishable eye models to postmortem masks, you will encounter both real objects and entities shrouded in a trail of hoaxes.
